Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

In light of what happened Wednesday night, she reflected on many issues over the course of two days and one night.

For example, before reaching an agreement at the internet cafe, Shiratori-san had promised her that he would never touch her, but when she was taking a shower and changing into her pajamas, out of shyness and defensiveness, she deliberately chose a long-sleeved winter pajama.

While such actions are understandable, given that it's for safety, if she put herself in his shoes, she realized that her little tricks in dressing were actually very impolite in Shiratori-san's eyes, clearly indicating a lack of trust in him.

She clearly showed distrust through her actions, but later, when she found out that Shiratori-san was planning to sleep on a beanbag chair and didn't want to make things difficult for him, she said she trusted him. Her words and actions were inconsistent.

To make up for her mistake, she hesitated for a while in front of the wardrobe, but decided to trust someone completely and chose pajamas for summer.

"Speaking of which, Shiratori-san didn't seem nervous at all just now. She seemed quite skilled."

As time passed and the tension gradually subsided, Minami Yamabuki glanced back at the bathroom and couldn't help but think to herself.

Unlike her nervousness, Shiratori-san seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he was taking a bath in a girl's house, or even behind her.

"Just how many girlfriends has Shiratori-san had to be so skilled?"

The stark contrast between the two extremes left her with mixed feelings.

Rumors circulated at Takeno High School that Shiratori had been seen with two hot girls on either side of him.

What should we do next?

Deep in thought, Minami Yamabuki sat down on the edge of the bed, kicking her legs back and forth, her feelings a complex mix.

She was actually quite looking forward to it before that moment arrived.

Shiratori-san brought a change of clothes today, and this is the second time. There was no prior agreement that he would not touch her while staying overnight, so it is very likely that he will go to bed with her.

Moreover, Shiratori-san is unexpectedly innocent. If we slept in the same bed, I might see his adorable blushing and shy reactions again.

That's how it should be, but when it actually happened, she started to get scared.

Since Shiratori-san didn't promise her he wouldn't touch her during the night, what should she do if he wanted to do something?

You have to understand that in her father's eyes, Shiratori-san is her boyfriend. She can't even scream for help, otherwise, her impersonation of her boyfriend will be exposed on the spot.

"It's almost bedtime, what should I do?"

Anxiety made Minami Yamabuki frown and sigh involuntarily.

She felt strange; she was afraid he wouldn't come to bed, yet she was also afraid he would.

After jumping back and forth, Minami Yamabuki's thoughts were in complete disarray.

It wasn't until she heard sounds coming from the bathroom that her confused mind began to clear a little.

Upon seeing his appearance, Minami Yamabuki was taken aback.

Perhaps it was because he had washed his hair and it had become straight, but Shiratori-san's demeanor changed after his bath. He was no longer cool and roguish, but rather had a gentler air about him.

This drastic change in appearance is as if all pretense has been removed, making one a completely different person.

"Xiao Nan".

When Shiratori saw that she wasn't hiding under the covers while he went into the bathroom like before, but instead sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly waiting for him, he thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Yes."

Upon hearing his voice, Yamabuki Minami snapped out of her reverie and responded.

But after responding, her face flushed because she had spoken too loudly in her haste, which was embarrassing.

"I'm very tired today, can I sleep in the bed?"

Shiratori Osamu didn't have time to think about all that and got straight to the point.

"Huh?"

Hearing such a straightforward question, Yamabuki Minami, who was still wondering whether she should invite him if he offered to sleep on the sofa, was dumbfounded on the spot.

"The agreement from last time still stands."

Having spent time with her before, Shiratori knew that she was gentle, delicate and sensitive, so he decided to make things clear to her.

He had thought about it seriously while taking a shower. When it came to sleeping, although he could pretend to be a little reluctant, like last time, and take the initiative to sleep on the sofa, waiting for the class monitor to invite him to bed again, he could still do so.

But if Minami Yamabuki doesn't invite him this time, then things will be difficult... Although the three high-quality deep sleep sessions don't explicitly state that you have to sleep in a bed, maybe lying flat on a beanbag chair with a pillow could trigger it.

However, high-quality deep sleep is not a permanent reward and occurs very rarely. Considering his recent excessive fatigue, he didn't want to waste a single one or take any risks.

"it is good."

Meeting his sincere and handsome black eyes, and hearing his earnest and serious promise, the chaotic thoughts that had been swirling in Yamabuki Minami's heart and mind were instantly blown away. After pausing for two seconds, she nodded in agreement.

Since Shiratori-san has said so, how could she bear to refuse?

Moreover, Shiratori-san's payment for pretending to be her boyfriend was already low... It was reduced from 50 yen per day to 2 yen per day. The difference in treatment was so big that she already felt bad. She couldn't possibly let him sleep on the sofa, could she?

After obtaining her consent, Shiratori Osamu, who was deliberately keeping a safe distance, started walking.

However, instead of going to bed, he went to the door and locked it from the inside.

"Why...why did you lock the door?" Upon seeing this, Yamabuki Minami was startled, and her voice weakened.

"For safety's sake."

Shiratori Osamu responded and walked towards the large bed.

He moved to the other side of the bed, bent down, pulled over a pillow, placed it beside the bed, and lay down directly on it.

The mattress and pillows are very soft and comfortable, and the summer air-conditioning quilt is also of very good quality.

Thank you, goodnight.

Lying down in bed and pulling the covers up, Shiratori Xiu closed his eyes and thanked her.

When the "Desperate Counterattack" state is turned off, the suppressed fatigue and headaches instantly surge back and return.

The heaviness and discomfort in his body made him frown, but after confirming the selection of high-quality deep sleep, he fell asleep on the spot.

"Good night."

Minami Yamabuki responded slowly and softly, feeling extremely embarrassed to see him lying on her bed.

She sat there for a while, and only after she had mentally prepared herself did she put her legs together and get onto the bed.

The bed is very large, and the two people are actually quite far apart.

Pulling another blanket over herself, before turning off the light and lying down, Minami Yamabuki couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to see Osamu Shiratori with his brows furrowed, eyes closed, and a lingering weariness on his handsome face.

Is he already asleep?

Minami Yamabuki was astonished to find that he had fallen asleep with the light on.

"He looks really tired..."

Looking at his sleeping face, Minami Yamabuki couldn't help but think.

"Why is he so tired? Is it because he didn't sleep well on the beanbag chair the day before yesterday? Or is it because he's trying to figure out how to deal with my dad?"

Finding that he had fallen asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, Yamabuki Minami pursed her lips. The unease and tension in her heart gradually subsided, replaced by curiosity and guilt.

Chapter 47 Sharing a Bed

When people are anxious or uneasy, their sleep quality is very poor.

Unpleasant nightmares are frequent, and they are often accompanied by waking up early or being half asleep.

"!"

Minami Yamabuki woke up with a start, sat up abruptly, and looked around, but all she could see was darkness.

Upon realizing this, she turned on the bedside lamp.

The circular light tore through a corner of darkness, dispelling the unease.

Minami Yamabuki turned her head to look in the light and saw a figure.

"Was it all a dream?"

Seeing Shiratori Osamu sleeping at the other end of the bed, Yamabuki Minami breathed a sigh of relief and lay down again.

She just had a nightmare. She dreamt that Shiratori-san left again before she woke up and before dawn, just like before, without saying goodbye, leaving only two sentences on a piece of paper.

She felt repulsed by the feeling of abruptly ending because they hadn't been able to say goodbye properly last time.

Overwhelmed by drowsiness and exhaustion, Minami Yamabuki adjusted her sleeping position and fell asleep again.

However, the night was long, and this kind of awakening happened more than once.

People who are sensitive and delicate are easily prone to internal conflict.

Not only was she worried that Shiratori Osamu would suddenly disappear without saying goodbye, she also dreamed that her fake boyfriend was exposed, her father slammed the door in a fit of rage and left with the philandering cat, leaving her mother crying.

…………

Minami Yamabuki woke up groggily, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome profile.

"!!!"

Upon seeing this, Minami Yamabuki's sleepy eyes suddenly widened, and she became fully awake.

So close! So close! So close!

What's going on? Why is Shiratori-san so close to her?

Realizing what had happened, she instinctively stepped back and quickly created some distance between herself and the attacker.

It wasn't until she retreated to the edge of the bed and looked again that Yamabuki Minami realized her current situation.

The fact that she was so close to Shiratori-san just now didn't seem to be because Shiratori-san's sleeping posture was so bad that she unconsciously moved closer to her, but rather because she leaned in closer.

After this incident, Minami Yamabuki was wide awake.

She looked up at the digital clock in front of her; it was 7:39 a.m. She had woken up this time because of her weekend biological clock.

Although she wasn't fully rested, she had slept long enough, so she simply got up.

The bedroom is also equipped with a motion-activated night light. Even though the room is dark because the curtains are drawn, a light will turn on a foot off the floor as soon as she walks into the bathroom.

"I think I woke up many times last night..."

Entering the bathroom and turning on the light, Minami Yamabuki cupped her hands in water and washed her face, beginning to recall what had happened the previous night.

She was trying to think things through and get her brain working again.

Memories that occur between sleep and wakefulness are always hazy, like dreams, and are hard to recall.

However, as a top student, she was very experienced in various memory techniques and could recall things by going through time as if playing a movie.

She slept very poorly last night, affected by nightmares and chaotic thoughts, waking up several times in the middle of the night and even going to the toilet.

After using the toilet, she lay back in bed, tossing and turning. Her gaze fell on the silhouette in the darkness, and she moved closer to it.

At first, she just wanted to get a little closer, but she still couldn't fall asleep.

As a result, she repeatedly tried to get "just a little closer" until she could close the distance to the point where the two pillows were touching and smelled the same shampoo scent on Shiratori-san's body as hers, before she could finally fall asleep peacefully.

"Is it because my sleeping posture was so bad that I unknowingly moved closer, or because I moved closer before I went to sleep?"

As the flashback ended, Minami Yamabuki fully realized the situation and was immediately stunned.

Based on the scene and sense of space, self-positioning, and the perspective from an overhead view... Shiratori-san always lay on the side of the bed on his side, while she slept next to him, wasting at least three-fifths of the entire bed space.

Washing up refreshes the mind and prepares you for a new day.

After lingering in the bathroom for a while, Minami Yamabuki waited until her shame subsided before finally coming out.

It was already 8 a.m., but the figure on the bed still hadn't moved.

"Is he still not awake?"

Minami Yamabuki was quite surprised to discover this after she had finished washing up and combed her hair.

After standing there watching for a while, Yamabuki Minami went over and squatted down by the bed.

After a night's rest, Shiratori Sanna's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and her expression became much more relaxed.

"He's sleeping so soundly... Is it because he's too tired? Or is it because he always sleeps this well?"

Gazing at Shiratori Osamu's sleeping face in the dim light, Yamabuki Minami felt that the scene was magical, as if she were in a dream.

The school bully, who was avoided by all the boys in the school and surrounded by fashionable and hot girls, not only stayed overnight at her house but also slept in her bed and slept very soundly.

His eyelashes are so long.
